A lot can be learnt by just observing and by watching movies too! Take for instance, the remote control car scene in Home Alone 3 and how the main character (a child) uses a remote controlled (RC) car to outsmart the intruder. While far fetched, this movie scene shows several lessons, the first being you can be smarter than somebody older than you. The second lesson is how the child implements technology (RC car + video camera) in a smart way, by mounting the video camera onto the RC car. Nobody is born smart, they just get smart! Educational toys such as the Makeblock mBot2 are a good way to spark the brain and make it fire in all cylinders! Makeblock mBot2 is an upgrade of the original mBot robot car and teaches two main things: how to physically build something and how to make it work electronically, using programming. The nice thing about the mBot 2 kit, it's that you can upload ready-made program codes so, you can start toying with mBot2 right away. The ready-made program cod...

The good thing about simple devices, it's that they're easier to use! Fitness trackers and other wearable tech gadgets like smartwatches are a good example of this. You can count steps, access call notifications, track sleep, read emails and monitor heart rate very easily and much more conveniently than with a smartphone. In terms of functionality, a smartwatch is the closest you can get to a smartphone and, some can do just about everything a fitness tracker can do.   Some smartwatches even support SIM cards, letting you take calls from the wrist. If you don't need all the bells and whistles though, getting a smartwatch isn't worth it. In the other hand, a fitness tracker such as the Doogee DG band makes more sense because it isn't as overwhelming as a smartwatch but, it supports key smartwatch features such as weather notification, music control and phone notifications.  Fitness wise, the Doogee DG band has you covered too. It supports heart rate monitoring, pedom...

By changing the way you control a game, you can instantly become better or worse, depending on the method  (thumbs or finger claw style). The 6 finger claw method is the latest craze because it allows the greatest degree of control, which is ideal for games such as PUBG and Blitz.  The downside to the finger claw style though, it's that it requires extreme finger coordination as well as, having your fingers all over the screen, which doesn't look pretty. Luckily, there is an easier and cleaner way to master the finger claw style with the new GameSir capacitive grip controller - the F7 Claw - which is appropriately named. The F7 Claw consists of two standalone grip controllers designed to attach ans connect to a tablet via capacitive sensing technology, which is neither wireless nor wired. The tablet/is securely held in place via 16 small suction cups which grip the tablet securely. Smartphones are a bit too small for the F7 Claw. Each controller has a bottom edge that is desi...

No matter how much you read up about parenting or how much advice you get from seasoned parents, the nerve-racking reality of bringing a child into the world is very powerful. Cot death is one of the top worries you have to wrestle with and, rightly so. Getting a baby monitor is a worthy investment just for peace of mind.  The baby cam pictured it's the Vacos baby monitor, which comes with a video camera, local storage and a portable viewing screen for monitoring the baby.
